In 1954 some Japanese were fishing in an area of the Pacific which, unknown to them, had been selected for nuclear experiments. They and their catch, and eventually almost the whole of their village, were infected by the fission-products. Herr Weyrauch has woven a highly stylised but moving tragedy around a possible but fictitious aftermath.
